For those of us who are 1) modelers; 2) science fiction lovers;
and 3) like to model science fiction subjects, there are a few
unique resources online that specialize in this area of modeling.
First is Steve Iverson's great CultTVman
site that contains a wealth
of information for modeling everything from HG Wells to Gene Rodenberry.
One of my other favorites is John Lester's Starship
Modeler.
So what happens when you combine the talents of Steve, John, and
numerous other science fiction modelers? You get CultTVman's Ultimate
Guide to Classic Sci Fi Movies!
This title covers a variety of subjects that have graced the silver
screen at some point in the last 100 years. Each subject is covered
by a look at the available kits and a discussion of the techniques
used to achieve the build-up of that subject.
Coverage includes:
- Sleight of Hand and Persistence of Vision
- From the Silver Screen to the Planet Mongo
- The Moon, My Destination
- Expedition Mars!
- Farewell to the Master
- Retro Rockets Gallery I
- The War Machines from the Red Planet
- Captain, Builder, and Engineer
- Taming the Tempest
- Painting the Details
- "I am Monitored to Respond to the Name ROBBY"
- Retro Rockets Gallery II
- Tempus Fugitive
- Modeling in a Jugular Vein
- To Fall To Earth on Fragile Wings
- Rediscovery
- The Lunar Models Discovery from "2001: A Space Odyssey"
- Tripping the Night Fantastic
- These are the Voyages...
- History of the Motion Picture USS Enterprise
- The Essential Workbench
This is an excellent reference for the beginning as well as well
as the more experienced science fiction modeler. The discussions
and experiences from these builders will save you time and help
the final appearance of your next project.
Definitely recommended!
